A member asked:
My poop has been green for a week. why is that? is it because ive been eating salads and edamame?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Green means its moving faster through your intestinal tract due to the high fiber in the salad and soy. Green is good, soft is good. Hard, dark brown and difficult to pass is less optimal. Congratulations on your good eating habits/
